Every Thug Needs A Lady

Part 1

The charmed ones moved around golden gate park silently. They knew breathing to loud could lead to a very messy end.

'Who would've thought some untrained mutts would be work for witches', Prue thought to herself. Though when she was reminded of the look on her baby sister's face when she told them of the Hellhounds, she knew hwy only witches could deal with them. They were vicious, wild and enjoyed killing anyone and everyone.

Paige signaled up ahead to a large rock. That meant the Hellhounds were near and the closer they got the louder the gnarling sound got.

Piper felt like they should have hunting guns or some dog treats or something more than a spell and their still new powers.

Paige stopped her sisters and peered over the rock, 3 resting hellhounds. She was glad they had got them before feeding time but that would only make them fiercer.

Piper stepped out from behind Prue and carefully walked closer to the rock to freeze the Hellhounds. Just as she was about to raise her hands she stepped on a twig which made a loud snap.

Each of the witches froze, hoping in vein that the noise wouldn't alert the dogs - They were wrong.

Before Piper could freeze them they all scattered. The silence of intimidating.

Prue, Piper and Paige all stood with the backs to each other, covering different directions.

"I think this is about the time we run." Paige said.

"I'd agree but um...." Piper signaled to the Hellhounds blocking them in every direction.

"Oh." Paige said in return.

Prue was standing trying to come up with a way to get them out of this dangerous situation but all she had come up with was Paige's obing power. She had to scrap that since Paige couldn't orb from one place to another yet, nevermind with two passengers's.

Piper was freezing the area over and over but the Hellhounds were too far out of range. "If I go out there, get them interested in some dinner then I can freeze them."

"No." Prue and Paige said in unison.

Piper thought it a moment more then told them to watch her back before running forward. "Hey! Yeah you dumb mutts, over here!"

Each of the Hellhounds snarled and slickly moved towards Piper. They looked like hyena's but with bright green eyes.

Prue made short work of one of the Hellhounds, throwing it hard into a tree. The next one was giving her a hard time, moving around so much she couldn't get a good view to TK it.

Paige felt useless, she wouldn't help anyone by running in the way, he powers meant she was out of the game, sentenced to watch on the sidelines. She did try to keep track of the Hellhounds, give her sister's a hand on finding them.

"Piper! Behind you!" Paige yelled.

Piper spun around and saw the blur of a Hellhound pouncing towards her. Before she could raise her hands to freeze it a loud bang penetrated the quiet night. As Piper stared at the dead Hellhound at her feet another two shots rang out.

Piper looked about and saw a man with a smoking gun in his hands. It took a second to realize just who had saved her.

"Jessi?"
